Salsa is typically made by combining diced or pureed tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers (such as jalapeños), cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Depending on the desired texture and heat level, other ingredients like corn, black beans, or additional spices might be added. All the ingredients are mixed together and allowed to sit for a short time to let the flavors meld together before serving. Salsa can be customized to fit individual preferences by varying the ingredients, as well as the amount of each ingredient used.

Flank steak is expensive due to several reasons. Firstly, it is a lean cut of meat, which means that it has less fat than other cuts, making it healthier. Secondly, it comes from the abdominal muscles of the cow, which is a well-exercised area, resulting in less tender meat. Lastly, it is a popular cut for grilling and barbecuing, which increases demand and drives up the price. The combination of these factors makes flank steak a pricier option compared to other cuts of beef.

To freeze cooked turkey, first allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, slice or dice the meat into smaller portions if desired.

Sago and tapioca pearls come from different plants and have different processing methods. Sago pearls are made from the inner pith of the sago palm tree, while tapioca pearls are made from the starch extracted from the cassava root. Sago pearls tend to be smaller and less uniform in size and texture, with a chewier and more translucent texture when cooked. Tapioca pearls are larger and more uniform in size and texture, with a softer and more gel-like texture when cooked. Both can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes, but cannot be used interchangeably due to their different properties.
